Wasn't sure where to put this but this seems to be as good as any.
Not looking to get into a debate on whether anyone would do it, privacy concerns, etc. Just a discussion about what you have found about your family tree if you have had it done.
I order the test a couple of weeks ago via Amazon, spit into the tube as directed, and sent it back. It was received and processed in less than two weeks. I got my results yesterday and no big surprises except for the percentages:
I knew there was English, German, and Irish in my ancestry, but the surprise was so much of my roots are from Ireland/Scotland/Wales.
I also found out a forum member who doesn't post anymore but I am still friends with on Facebook is my 4th cousin.
My sister is also doing the test and awaiting for her results to see if they match, else the milkman has a lot of 'splaining to do. She has already reconnected with a long lost first cousin (only full cousin) on my dad's side and have learned some of his history.
Very cool stuff.
